Ah, but my imaginary thread wasn’t about ״תשובו כעין תדורו״ , it was about, and I quote, “Eating in the sukkah ….”
Both eating and sleeping in the sukkah are part of the מצוה of
״תשובו כעין תדורו״
I couldn’t agree more!
much like Kiddush Hashem and “Looking good by the Goyim” are both part of a yid’s avodas Hashem
“So I’m not sure why you brought that up ”
Sure glad to explain! Let me know where I lose you
1) Joseph wrote, that “Kiddush Hashem” Does Not Mean Looking Good by the Goyim .
2) I granted that his point was true, but noted that “Looking good by the goyim was important too”
3) To which DY said ““There are lots of good things we are supposed to do. This thread is about kiddush Hashem, not all of the other things.”
4) To which I replied with a mashal. In a thread about Eating in sukkah (note not a thread about ״תשובו כעין תדורו״) It is 100% appropriate to mention sleeping in a sukkah, as you correctly note while of course not eating sleeping is very closely related to eating in sukkah. (all the more so if I mentioned sleeping in OP, it is certainly appropriate to clarify that sleeping is part of the mitzvah. Similarly if Joseph mentions “Looking Good by the Goyim ” My pointing out that that too is important, is not comparable to bringing up ” lots of good things ” It is related to the subject at hand, it is literally mentioned up there in the title, go look it is still there! It is not at all an example of “a lot of good things”
Hope that helps, If it doesnt, that’s ok Don’t get caught up in the mashal if it is too confusing move on to and absorb my main point,
Namely: looking good in front of the Goyim is a good thing.
